Yesterday, I did not make a post celebrating that it was Brent Irwin.tv’s 1 year birthday. Well, it was! And now Barack Obama is in line to be our next President. There’s all kind of history in the making right now!

Hi!

Paper Towel Ghosts | Halloween CAD #1

Brent — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:43:37 +0000

This is the first in the Halloween Craft-a-Day series on BrentIrwin.tv. Personally, I love Halloween, and the decorations are the most fun. So every day on this blog, I will be telling one more way to decorate your house for Halloween for free.

Today, I’ll teach you how to make paper towel ghosts.

Materials for one ghost:
1 Paper Towel
1 Rubber Band
1 Sheet of Printer Paper
Sharpie

First, crumple up the paper towel into a small ball.

Then, put the paper ball in the middle of the paper towel and wrap the towel around the paper ball. Use the rubber band to keep the ball inside the paper towel.

Next, you draw a ghostly face on the ghost’s head.

Finally, tape a piece of string on the tops of their heads and tape the other end to the ceiling. You now have floating ghosts!

I have a quick tip for you iPhone users out there. If you didn’t already know this, BrentIrwin.tv and TheHangoutPodcast.com both have the little file called apple-touch-icon.png. Now, what does this do? Well, if you’re on an iPhone or iPod touch and decide to add either of my websites as a bookmark to the front page, you can do it, and this icon makes it look oh-so nice!

Cuil Vanity Search

Okay, let’s take a look at this new search engine sensation called “Cuil”. Nobody likes it. Everyone’s calling it junk. You can’t even SPELL Cuil without messing up the first few times! The real important thing is how well it performs my vanity search. First, though, let’s look at Google’s results. Click on any of the photos to see them full-size

6 answers on the front page, including the first entry, are actually me. They’re all relevant to what I’m doing nowadays. Now, let’s see Yahoo.

Yahoo turned up with 6 entries for me on the front page. 3 of them definitely aren’t relative to what I do regularly, though. Now, let’s see how Cuil is doing…

In Cuil, none of the categories are about me. There is my explore.twitter.com page (which no one even ever uses for ANYBODY). There is my Twittervision page, useless. Then there are 4 Twitter posts from months ago. So Cuil actually does tie with Google and Yahoo. in how many entries show up for me. However, it loses, because there is not a single post that is relevant to me. No one would ever need to know any of these sites. Cuil is officially a dumb search engine. My rating, 0.

iPod, Meet OSX

My favorite two products by my favorite company have just found friendship… sort of. On the last episode of The Hangout, I mentioned how I hated iPod Wizard for screwing up my iPod. Well, Dev uses iPod Wizard, and he convinced me to try it again. Using the Ultimate Background Hack firmware and the Mac OS X theme, I hacked my iPod! And here’s what it looks like now!

Wasp Hunt!

Brent — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:48:16 +0000

I was streaming on www.BTVlive.net and found that there was a wasp in my kitchen. So what did I do? I recorded it of course! The video is really funny. At least the people in the chat room thought it was. I was more scared than excited, but in hindsight, it’s hilarious!

The Immediate Future

Brent — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:08:58 +0000

Well, it looks as though I reached the point where I’m going away form this computer for a while. BY saying that, I mean I’m goin to my grandparents’ house for 3 nights. I’ll wake up there on my birthday and come home and get my new MacBook. Tonight, my goal is to make DVDs and a jump drive of all the files I want to move over to the new computer. Well, I’ve done that now.

So tomorrow morning will be the last time I use Windows as my primary platmorm. However much I dislike Windows and prefer Mac, it’s a little sad knowing I’m only coming back to my PC to play The Sims 2. Oh, that reminds me! I’m possibly going to be using Windows to record Skype calls until the end of this month when Call Graph for Mac alpha is “released”. I’m very proud to use this program’s “alpha” (as I call it) versions. There is another option for Skype recording on Mac that seems a little complicated, but it allows you to record in GarageBand. I might be looking at that option instead.

But, I’m very happy to become a Mac person Monday. I’ve been saving up for who knows how long, and I’m finally going to get it! I am going to get teh $1299 standard MacBook and an Airport Extreme Base Station. It’ll be great!
